Busy few days

It was a very busy few days at the College. The nurses had their capping ceremony, here with their class president giving thanks to the people who have helped them in their efforts to become professionals...




...and a grad from the College gave a talk about the new agricultural law, the Community-based Revolution of Agricultural Production law, passed in 2011. Juan Carlos Ballivián works for the Ministry of Land and Rural Development, and talked to over 100 agronomy students who were curious about the future of Bolivian agriculture.




New graduate Eddy Pampa also defended his research project about erosion control in coffee fields, and will be working as a rural credit agent here in the yungas where he grew up.




The La Paz Sur chapter of the Rotary Club also came by for a visit, interested in seeing how the College's recycling program is coming along (Rotary financed our recycling center in the community of Carmen Pampa), and see how we can collaborate in the future.




It was an amazing few days.
